Commands
The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules and
conventions:
■ Commands and keywords are case insensitive.
■ Required keyword values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in
italics: [value].
■ Underlined portions of the keyword in the command format indicate the abbreviated form
that can be used. For example the Del
ete keyword can be abbreviated Del.
The command-line completion feature makes entering and repeating commands easier.
Table 43 describes the command-line completion keystrokes.
The command set performs monitoring and configuration tasks. Commands related to
monitoring tasks are available to all account names. Commands related to configuration tasks
are available only within an admin session. An account must have Admin authority to enter the
Admin Start command, which opens an admin session. See the “Admin command” on
page 117.
